Pete Zaitcev (
zaitcev), a kernel dev from Red Hat, writes about Xen here and here.
That's interesting that Xen patch is much bigger than OpenVZ patch, and very intrusive (this is unavoidable as I understand; OpenVZ is intrusive as well, especially the resource management part). And they still have a long way to go to become more of a product rather than interesting (and much hyped about) developing technology.
Still, the one goal that OpenVZ, Xen and all the other virtualization software projects and products have in common is to teach people virtualization — what is it, what kinds of virtualization do we have, in what scenarios and how it can be useful etc. etc. On that ground, I wish Xen project good luck.
